Rescatando del Leteo crítico a Juan Crisóstomo Lafinur

A menudo la diosa Crítica argentina se empecina en sumergir en el río del olvido a no pocas figuras literarias de nuestro país del siglo XIX. Se podrían ofrecer como excusas, en algunos casos, el despótico paso del tiempo (mientras más nos alejamos del presente más difícil es indagar sobre talo cual autor); en otros, la escasa información biográfica; o la condición paupérrima de ciertas ediciones; o el estado a veces inabarcable de hombresorquesta de estos individuos (son poetas, guerreros, filósofos, etc. y esto sin descuidar ninguno de sus oficios), y así seguiríamos enumerando hasta el hartazgo. Pero así como existe una tendencia a lograr una moderna historiografia argentina de la mano de estudiosos como Tulio Halperin Donghi, revisando los hechos a la luz de sus desencadenantes ideológicos, también se debería proponer un buceo histórico-literario para sacar a la luz varias perlas literarias, engarzadas en sus correspondientes ideologías. Este trabajo se propone ser la ayuda virgiliana que rescate del olvido a Juan Crisóstomo Lafinur, sobre todo su labor poética, ya que de la filosófica todos sabemos de su importante trascendencia. Para esta última sólo tenemos que recordar las palabras de Roberto F. Giusti: "La historia de la evolución mental argentina quedaría incompleta si en ella no hiciésemos un lugar a Lafinur".

Hábito del tabaco y su influencia en el ámbito laboral

El hábito del tabaco es un importante factor de riesgo para la salud. Las patologías relacionadas con él, son la primera causa de muerte evitable y morbilidad en Argentina, y un factor que en los próximos años puede hipotecar la salud de los países en vías de desarrollo. Conocer acerca de cómo puede influir este hábito en el ámbito laboral será el tema a investigar, además de abordar la opinión de fumadores a través de los cuales se podrá saber qué actitud asumen cuando enfrentan una conducta de riesgo como el tabaco. En Argentina la ley sobre limitaciones en la venta y uso de tabaco para protección de la salud de la población apenas tuvo repercusión en el consumo de tabaco en público, ya que las autoridades, y por supuesto el ciudadano, jamás velaron por su cumplimiento. La prevalencia del hábito del tabaco en los enfermeros del Hospital Perrupato es de 45,81%, la cual es una cifra muy elevada. Hay que tener en cuenta que los enfermeros/as, además de ejercer una función preventiva, asistencial y terapéutica, desempeñan un papel modélico y ejemplificador para la sociedad a la que prestan atención. Por lo que es de sumo interés estudiar cómo puede influir este hábito en la calidad del servicio que prestan. Además, se pretende crear conciencia en el personal con el hábito tabáquico y evidenciar el impacto del ausentismo, conflictividad, rendimiento laboral e imagen de la institución. Los objetivos de este trabajo son: determinar la influencia del hábito del tabaco en el ámbito laboral de los enfermeros del Hospital Ítalo Alfredo Perrupato; identificar cómo influye el hábito del tabaco en el rendimiento laboral; identificar cómo influye el tabaco en las relaciones interpersonales; determinar la influencia del tabaco en la imagen del Hospital Perrupato y establecer relaciones entre porcentajes de ausentismo y baja de la productividad con el hábito del tabaco.

Az erősödő állami szerepvállalás értékelése a magyarországi elektronikus hírközlő hálózati fejlesztésekben (Evaluation of the increasingstate’s rolein the electronic communications network development in Hungary)

Az elektronikus hírközlő hálózat rohamszerű fejlesztésének igénye az elektronikus szolgáltatások széles körű elterjedésével az állami döntéshozókat is fejlesztéspolitikai koncepciók kidolgozására és azok végrehajtására ösztönzi. Az (információs) társadalom fejlődése és az ennek alapjául szolgáló infokommunikációs szolgáltatások használata alapvetően függ a szélessávú infrastruktúra fejlesztésétől, az elektronikus hírközlő hálózat elérésének lehetőségétől. Az állami szerepvállalási hajlandóság 2011-től kezdődően jelentősen megnőtt az elektronikus hírközlési területen. Az MVM NET Zrt. megalapítása, a NISZ Zrt. átszervezése, a GOP 3.1.2-es pályázat és a 4. mobilszolgáltató létrehozásának terve mind mutatják a kormányzat erőteljes szándékát a terület fejlesztésére. A tanulmányban bemutatásra kerül, hogy az állam milyen beavatkozási eszközökkel rendelkezik az elektronikus hírközlő hálózat fejlesztésének ösztönzésére. A szerző ezt követően a négy, jelentős állami beavatkozás elemzését végzi el annak vizsgálatára, hogy megfelelő alapozottsággal született-e döntés az állami szerepvállalásról. _____ With the widespread use of the Internet, the need for the rapid development of the digital communication networks has prompted government policy makers also to conceptualize and implement development policy. The advancement of the (information) society and the use of information communication technology as a prerequisite of it are fundamentally determined by the development of broadband infrastructure and whether broadband access to the digital telecommunication network is available. The propensity of the government to play a bigger role in the field of electronical communication has increased significantly from 2011. The setup of MVM NET Zrt. / Hungarian Electricity NET Ltd./, the realignment of NISZ Zrt. / National Info communication Services Company Limited by Shares - NISZ Ltd./, the GOP 3.1.2. tender and the plan to enable a new, i.e. the fourth mobile network operator to enter the market all indicate the robust intention of the government to develop this field. The study shows the tools of government intervention for the incentive of the development of the electronical communication network. Then the author analyses the four main government interventions to examine whether the decision on the role of the state was adequately well-founded.

Um algoritmo paralelo eficiente de migração reversa no tempo (rtm) 3d com granularidade fina

The reverse time migration algorithm (RTM) has been widely used in the seismic industry to generate images of the underground and thus reduce the risk of oil and gas exploration. Its widespread use is due to its high quality in underground imaging. The RTM is also known for its high computational cost. Therefore, parallel computing techniques have been used in their implementations. In general, parallel approaches for RTM use a coarse granularity by distributing the processing of a subset of seismic shots among nodes of distributed systems. Parallel approaches with coarse granularity for RTM have been shown to be very efficient since the processing of each seismic shot can be performed independently. For this reason, RTM algorithm performance can be considerably improved by using a parallel approach with finer granularity for the processing assigned to each node. This work presents an efficient parallel algorithm for 3D reverse time migration with fine granularity using OpenMP. The propagation algorithm of 3D acoustic wave makes up much of the RTM. Different load balancing were analyzed in order to minimize possible losses parallel performance at this stage. The results served as a basis for the implementation of other phases RTM: backpropagation and imaging condition. The proposed algorithm was tested with synthetic data representing some of the possible underground structures. Metrics such as speedup and efficiency were used to analyze its parallel performance. The migrated sections show that the algorithm obtained satisfactory performance in identifying subsurface structures. As for the parallel performance, the analysis clearly demonstrate the scalability of the algorithm achieving a speedup of 22.46 for the propagation of the wave and 16.95 for the RTM, both with 24 threads.

Novas formas de governança pública: um estudo do arranjo articulado para Implementação da política pública nacional de aprendizagem profissional

The configuration assumed by the institutional governance arrangement established in the cities of Fortaleza and Natal, and its influence on the implementation of the National Public Policy of Professional Learning that promotes the formation and integration into the labor market of teens and young people aged 14 to 24 years old and people with disabilities is the aim of this thesis. The interactive governance approach, proposed by Kooiman (2003.2008) was the mainstay of the epistemological construction of the investigative process, also supported by contributions from Draibe (2001) concerning the stages of implementation of public policies. In methodological terms, the approach used was qualitative, being performed descriptive bibliographical and documentary research, applying semi-structured interviews with 44 subjects. Data were based on Bardin (2011), having been pre-established two categories of analysis: governance and implementation. The results pointed, among other things, to greater diversity and dynamics of the arrangement in Fortaleza, highlighting the much larger number of accessions of Nonprofit Entities (ESFLs) to politics, more frequent interactions between stakeholders from different organizational levels of governance, better alignment between guiding governance images and spaces designed to encourage interactions among actors and also greater local government involvement. In both cities studied, on the other hand, the study indicated that the failure of institutional capacities adversely affect the interactions stimulation and the exercise of meta-governance. The thesis concluded that the shape and intensity of the interactions between the actors involved in the implementation of the National Public Policy of Professional Learning and the way images are shared results in greater understanding and dissemination of the policy and create a favorable environment for cooperation and dialogue needed to collective work and favors the modeling of a governance structure able to handle the demands and characteristics of organizations and their participants in order to accommodate the divergent interests, make room for the creation of innovations and convergence of actions to achieve the objectives of the policy. Thus, the results of the Professional Learning Policy in the cities of Natal and Fortaleza, in terms of levels of entering the labor market, can be understood from the differences found in the governance structure of the institutional arrangement used for its implementation.

Capacidades estatais para implementação de políticas públicas em ambientes federativos: o caso do Programa Bolsa Família

This thesis aims to understand the extent to which state capacities of state governments explain the effectiveness of the implementation of Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) in the Northeast, adopting the implementation of the theory as the main theoretical lens and more specifically the concept of state capacity. Methodologically is a study of public policy evaluation, and categorized as a process of evaluation study or implementation. Given the specificity of the object is classified as a multi case study research covering the states of Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte and Bahia. In addition to using secondary data, the study used semi-structured interviews with members of Intersectoral Committees responsible for the actions of PBF and the Cadastro Único at the state level, composed of representatives of the areas of the state government of Social Welfare, Education and Health. the main findings related to technical and administrative capacities and policies were found: infrastructure with weakness in human resources, technological and financial resources; intra-governmental coordination with boundaries between PBF and Unified Social Assistance System , and the actions of conditionality of health and Health Unic System Basic Attention; intergovernmental coordination carried out mostly by the distance limitations of displacement and incipient regional decentralization of actions; based monitoring in the municipalities of lower performance and from the parameters placed by the federal government and political capacities; representative political system is hardly accessed by instances of program management; minor social participation and low articulation with related issues advice to PBF; audit control by any outside agencies. The thesis concludes that depending on the capabilities found implementing weaknesses are not unique to the program's actions, but from the very institutional capacity of the systems in which it operates that are the Unified Social Assistance System, the Health Unic System and the Educational System. In other words limitations of their own state capacities of the state governments and the municipal governments of each territory, such as quantitative insufficiency and qualification of human resources, financial and institutional resources, lack instance promoting decentralization (Intergovernmental and intra-governmental) as well the weakness or absence of a network of local social services are also factors that explain the program management performance and state capabilities of arrangements formed by states and municipalities in the PBF, only to partially deal with the complexity of joints involving Implementation of the program with regard to inter and intra-governmental action.

Civic Humanism and the Classical Tradition in the Early Republic of Chile

The first decades of the 19th century constituted a period of profound change for Chile, the principal results of which were to be seen in the consolidation of the process of independence from Spanish dominion in 1818. The consequences were not limited to a revolution of military and political nature; they also included a renovation of the cultural panorama -at least among the educated patriots who made an effort to distance themselves ideologically from the Monarchy-, with the implicit challenge of establishing a new order for Chile, based on legitimate and universally recognizable foundations. The inspirational framework for these efforts is usually associated with other revolutionary examples -France and the United States- that preceded the emancipation processes in Spanish America, as well as with the discourses of illustrated liberalism. As we will attempt to demonstrate in this study, a new reading of the texts written by the Creoles that lead the Chilean independence process may, nonetheless, also reveal the relevance of the classical tradition as a model for the configuration and legitimization of the first Republican projects that especially admired the ideals of Republicanism.

Ação do fator de crescimento de fibroblasto básico na cicatrização da aponeurose abdominal de ratos

Objetivo: Trabalho realizado em ratos com o objetivo de estudar o efeito do Fator de Crescimento de Fibroblastos básico (FCFb) na cicatrização da aponeurose abdominal. Métodos: Foram usados 20 ratos Wistar separados aleatoriamente em 2 grupos iguais. Os animais foram anestesiados com pentobarbital sódico na dose de 20 mg/Kg por via intraperitoneal e submetidos a laparotomia mediana de 4 cm, cuja camada aponeurótica foi suturada com mononylon 5-0. No grupo I foi aplicada a dose de 5mg de FCFb sobre a sutura da aponeurose. No grupo II (controle) foi aplicada solução salina 0,9% sobre a linha se sutura. Após observação por 7 dias os animais foram mortos com superdose de anestésico. A camada aponeurótica com 1,5 cm de largura foi submetida a teste de resistência à tensão empregando a Máquina de Ensaios EMIC MF500. Biópsias das zonas de sutura foram processadas e coradas com HE e o tricômico de Masson. Os achados histopatológicos foram quantificados através de sistema digital (Image pro-plus) de captura e processamento de imagens. Os dados obtidos foram analisados pelo teste T com significância 0,05. Resultados: Nos animais do grupo I (experimental) a zona de sutura da camada aponeurótica suportou a carga de 1.103±103,39gf. A quantificação dos dados histopatológicos desse grupo atingiu a densidade média 226±29,32. No grupo II (controle) a carga suportada pela zona de sutura foi de 791,1±92,77 gf. Quando foram comparadas as médias das resistências à tensão dos dois grupos, observou-se uma diferença significante (p<0,01). O exame histopatológico das lâminas desse grupo relevou densidade média 114,1±17,01, correspondendo a uma diferença significante quando comparadas as médias dos dois grupos (p<0,01). Conclusão: Os dados permitem concluir que o FCFb contribuiu para aumentar a resistência da aponeurose suturada e para melhorar os parâmetros histopatológicos da cicatrização.

Lesões pulmonares provocadas pela nicotina por via subcutânea em ratos.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Estudo com o objetivo de observar a influência da nicotina, aplicada pela via subcutânea, em pulmões de ratos. Métodos: Foram utilizados 20 ratos Wistar pesando 235±35g, separados aleatoriamente em 2 grupos iguais. O grupo I (n=10) recebeu nicotina na dose de 2 mg/ Kg/dia pela via subcutânea durante 20 dias e o grupo II (n=10) recebeu placebo pela mesma via de administração. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que no grupo I ocorreu broncopneumonia em 3 (30%) ratos, leucocitose alveolar em 10 (100%) e leucocitose septal em 7 (70%). Atelectasia foi encontrada em 2 (20%). Transformados em escores, os dados totalizaram 52 pontos. Os escores das alterações observadas nos pulmões do grupo II atingiram 11 pontos (p<0,05). Conclusão: Os dados permitiram concluir que o uso da nicotina por via subcutânea contribuiu para o aparecimento de lesões pulmonares em ratos, em número e intensidade significativamente maiores do que nos animais considerados controles.

O fator de crescimento de fibroblasto básico melhora a cicatrização de anastomoses duodenais em ratos

RESUMO: Objetivo: Avaliar as alterações histológicas, e o ganho de resistência em anastomoses duodenais tratadas com fator de crescimento de fibroblasto básico (FGFb). Métodos: Vinte ratos da raça Wistar foram submetidos a secção transversal do duodeno, seguida de anastomose. Os animais foram divididos em 4 grupos de 5 animais cada: A1 e A2 (experimentais), nos quais foi aplicado FCFb sobre a anastomose logo após seu término; e B1 e B2 (controles), nos quais foi administrada solução salina sobre a zona de anastomose. Os roedores foram mortos com superdose de anestésico, sendo A1, B1 no 5º dia e A2, B2 no 7º dia de pós-operatório. Foi feita avaliação quanto à resistência das anastomoses à pressão e análise da densidade média dos achados histopatológicos com auxílio do sistema digitalizado Image proPlus. Resultados: No grupo A1 a pressão suportada pelas anastomoses foi de 52±14,4 mmHg e no grupo A2 140±34,8 mmHg. Em B1 a pressão atingiu 33,6±15,2 mmHg e as anastomoses do grupo B2 suportaram pressão 105±30,3. No grupo A1 a densidade média dos elementos histopatológicos foi de 93±9,3 e A2 atingiu 181,8±27,6. Nos grupos de controle B1 e B2 as densidades médias foram 67,6±16,7 e 101±12,9 respectivamente. A análise estatística revelou diferença significante entre nos dados dos grupos experimentais e controles (p<0,05).Conclusão: a aplicação tópica do FCFb foi capaz de aumentar a resistência das feridas do duodeno suturadas e observadas após 5 e 7 dias de evolução. Estimulou a neovascularização, a formação de fibroblastos e de fibras colágenas, melhorando os escores histológicos em relação ao controle.
